i don't know that there are very many other people in this room that care about india/u.s. relationships when it comes to aviation which, by the way, is pretty good. anybody else on this subject? >> yes, on the aviation subject, sir. >> okay. >> to what extent do you think it has been caught up in the tone and the rough-and-tumble of the overall debt ceiling aspect? >> you know, that's a good question. i don't happen to believe it has. because when i've talked to members of congress, particularly those that are in leadership, this really is, i think, some people's way of saying that these two issues that i mentioned, the eas, the essential air service and the union provision, they want to get to those. they want to get them solved. i think it can be done with a clean bill, another extension, i think it could be done very quickly with the discussions i've had with people in leadership in the house and senate, and i really hope that will happen. >> well, given the current situation, is there any hope that your issue is going to be handled before they deal with the debt ceilin
